Cinema and Media PYQs – Static GK, SSC & Railway

Correct Answer: 3 – 1923.
Radio broadcasting in India was started by the Radio Club of Bombay in 1923, making it the first radio broadcasting club in India. This was followed by the establishment of the Indian Broadcasting Company in 1927. The government took over broadcasting in 1930 under the Indian State Broadcasting Service, which was later renamed All India Radio (AIR) in 1936.
Options 1 (1909), 2 (1911), and 4 (1934) are incorrect.

Correct: Mir Ranjan Negi.
The film 'Chak De India' (2007) is inspired by the story of Mir Ranjan Negi, a former Indian hockey goalkeeper who was wrongly accused of match-fixing in 1982. The film fictionalizes his redemption story. Dilip Tirkey, Dhanraj Pillay, and Balbir Singh Sr. are famous hockey players but are not the basis of this film.

Correct Answer: Suchitra Sen (Option 2)
Suchitra Sen won the Best Actress Award at the 1963 Moscow International Film Festival for her performance in the Bengali film 'Saat Pake Bandha' (1963). She was the first Indian actress to win an international film award, making her a pioneering figure in Indian cinema.
Why other options are wrong:
Option 1 - Nargis Dutt: She won the National Film Award for Best Actress (1958) for 'Mother India', not a 1963 Moscow award.
Option 3 - Zeenat Aman: She was born in 1951 and had her debut in 1970, making it impossible for her to have won in 1963.
Option 4 - Jaya Prada: She made her debut in 1975, long after the 1963 Moscow Film Festival.
